I hope I am not leaving anyone out and Thanks to those people that are going
to reply later.

The Conclusion is:

1. at the OK prompt, check which one is your second boot disk.
    you can try "probe-scsi" to check the target and type "devalias" to
check what is the disk alias i.e. disk1 or disk2 etc. usually sd@0,0 is
target 0, sd@1,0 is target 1 etc.

2. type "boot disk1" if your second boot disk is target 1

4. to permanently boot this change the "boot-device" environment to
    whatever your second device alias is. type "printenv" to view
    "boot-device" environment. use "setenv boot-device <disk
devalias>" to change the default boot device.

Thank you,

Elsa
